Title: Modeling Rational Agents within a BDI-Architecture
Author: Anand S. Rao and Michael P. Georgeff
Book Tittle: Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
Editor: James Allen, Richard Fikes, and Erik Sandewall
Pages: 473--484
Publisher: Morgan Kaufmann publishers Inc.: San Mateo, CA, USA
Year: 1991
Abstract: Intentions, an integral part of the mental state of an agent, play an important role in determining the behavior of rational agents as they seek to attain their goals. In this paper, a formalization of intentions based on a branching-time possible-worlds model is presented. It is shown how the formalism realizes many of the important elements of Bratman's theory of intention. In particular, the notion of intention developed here has equal status with the notions of belief and desire.
